Gurry, Michael, Sweeney, Martin, McArdle, Patrick and Aldabbagh, Fawaz (2015) One-pot hydrogen peroxide and hydrohalic acid induced ring closure and selective aromatic halogenation to give new ring-fused benzimidazoles. Organic Letters, 17(11), pp. 2856-2859. ISSN (print) 1523-7060

Abstract

A new series of selectively dichlorinated and dibrominated five to eight-membered ring [1,2-a] fused benzimidazoles and [1,4]oxazino[4,3-a]benzimidazoles are synthesized in mostly high yields of >80% using the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and hydrohalic acid with commercially available o-cyclic amine substituted anilines. Domestic bleach with HCl is also capable of a one-pot ring-closure and chlorination.
